SEO Nick's Blog: Random Thoughts

It's been just about two months since my last blog post, so I've decided to treat you all with my amazing writing skills.

Unlike most of the internet savvy people I know, I was a little late to discover just how entertaining Digg can be. I only recently started visiting the site daily and to my surprise, I find myself learning bits of useful (and non-useful) information every day. So, without further ado, here is the top 10 things I've Learned From Digg.

10. Digg users LOVE top 10 lists. Seriously. They go nuts over them. These posts often have more Diggs than important posts about politics, global warming and food starved countries! It's ridiculous! They can be top 10 lists about ANYTHING. Movies you probably haven't heard about but should have, Zombies…

It's been a while since I made my last post.. so I thought I would update y'all on what I have planned for 2008. I have a basic idea of some things that I want to get done before the summer even.

I think the main thing I want to happen before the summertime is for me to get in better shape. I spend a LOT of time on computers and I think that with a little self-motivation, I can get out a little more. Since a lot of my friends have moved away to either go to school or work, I have little motivation to go for the weekly hikes and walks that I used to be into.

I signed up for a gym a while ago (which reminds me, I need to renew my membership!). I've gone a couple times but it's been hard with the holiday season. Now that it's winding down, I think it will…

Well. I did it. I dug into my shallow pockets, forked out 600 bucks and took a 2 day bus ride up North. I went for a couple reasons. One of them being to see my sister, niece, nephew and brother in law; another reason being me just wanting to go on some sort of adventure.

I hopped on the bus at 6:00am on November 5th, at the Greyhound Bus Depot in downtown Vancouver. I was excited. I stuffed my jacket full of the essentials. My Ipod packed with Bowie, The Beatles and Pearl Jam, a small guitar case containing a Ukulele and a sweater and my camera. Grabbed a coffee before I climbed aboard and took a seat at the back.

I knew it was going to be a long trip, so I went RIGHT to the back and took the only spot on the bus with three seats in a row. We took… Read Full Post

    Things may change between now and November, but I am currently in the process of booking a bus/train trip to the Northwest Territories for a couple of weeks. I have been down the West Coast of the United States and even all the way to England, but I have never ever been in another province or Territory in Canada.
   
    November, that will all change as I plan to literally go to the Great White North. My sister, Lina, lives up there with her husband and my Niece and Nephew. It will be good to go up there and visit with them all.
   
    It should be interesting going somewhere where last year, in November, it was -27. I've always said I liked the cold... but I have a feeling I don't know what I'm getting myself into. Either way, it's going… Read Full Post

This is one nice site:
Texas Real Estate

Everything about it, in my eyes is perfect. The thing I like the most is the 3 animated calls to action. They are very well done and the images definitely catch my attention. Just thought I'd give these guys a blog post link for having such a neat little site :) Read Full Post

   This post doesn't really apply to real estate, or being a webmaster, or real estate webmasters. More of just some random thoughts and resolutions for the year 2007. After reading a post by Phil(aka Phuel), I decided to make my own list of things I would like to accomplish in my 22nd year on planet earth.

    One thing I started doing last year is making music. I put together a small project called FingerSauce with my girlfriend. It's pretty much Portia, my girl, me, my guitar, a crappy computer mic and Acid Music Studio. We started out recording our versions of songs made famous by David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Pearl Jam and some more Pearl Jam.

    My resolution this year is to create an entire album of original music. It's going pretty good so… Read Full Post
